Know more about Statistics and ace the concept of Correlation and Regression Correlation and Regression Question 1 Detailed Solution Concept: The correlation coefficient is statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between the relative moments of two variables. ~ The values range between -1.0 and 1.0. Itis determined by dividing the covariance by the product of the two variables standard deviation. Thus, Coefficient of correlation Does not depends on scale and origin. Calculation: In the given question, we are given that Coefficient of correlation between the ages of husband and wife at the time of marriage for a set of 100 couples was 0.7 and According to the question, If couples survive to celebrate their silver jubilee, then Since, Coefficient of correlation doesn't changes on scale and time Thus, the Coefficient of correlation at that point will be same as it was earlier =The Coefficient of correlation = 0.7we ere ee Start Complete Exam Preparation CCC eon (call eae Practice Praca Ds iol esta xtc Question 2: View this Question Online > Comprehension: Directions: Read the following information and answer the two items that follow: Consider the table La The two lines of regression are 1, x= 5.548 -0.129y and y = 6.836 - 0.216x 2. x= - 5.548 - 0.129y and y = - 6.836 - 0.216x 3. x= 5.548 +0.120y and y = 6.836 +0.216x 4. x =-5.548 + 0.129y and y = - 6.836 + 0.216x Answer (Detailed Solution Below) Option 1 : x = 5.548 - 0.129y and y = 6.836 - 0.216x Correlation and Regression Question 2 Detailed Solution Concept: The line of regression of y onx is y -¥ = b,,(x -x)‘The line of regression of x ony is x a’ The line of regression of y onx isy-y=b_ (x-%) ve Calculation: my- 3 =-0.216 (x- 3) = zy = 6.836-0.216x The line of regression of x ony is x-X = buy -7) ax- =0.129y- 9) =x = 5.548 -0.129y The two lines of regression are x = 5.548 - 0.129y and y = 6.836 - 0.216x.

Correlation and Regression Question 7 Detailed Solution Concept: Co-efficient of Correlation (r): é , In simple linear regression analysis, the co-efficient of correlation is a statistic which indicates an association between the independent varieble and the dependent variable. The co-efficient of correlation is represented by ‘r" andits value lies between -1.00and+1.00. + When the co-efficient of correlation is positive, such as +0.80, it Means the dependent variable is increasing/decreasing when the independent variable is increasing/decreasing. A negative value indicates an inverse association; the dependent variable is increasing/decreasing when the independent variable is decreasing/increasing, + A co-efficient of cortelation of +0.8 of -0.8 Indicates a strong correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable. An r of +0.20 or -0.20 indicates a weak correlation between the es. When the co-efficient of correlation is 0.00, there is no : core i XG Calculation: From the properties/nature of the co-efficient of correlation, we know that the correlation coefficient Is Independent of the choice of origin and scale. eee se peta Reem A ott PSE Ta me (CM pcm lela cel) nates ee errDownload App Question 8 ‘ View this Question Online > If coefficient of correlation ryy = 1, then - 1. a lines become identical 2.
